I wanna talk to Sampson!

Nothing says 'Happy Friday' like photos of an adorable/ornery little pup.  Sampson is a bulldog from San Diego who was kind enough to share his home, his couch, and his toys with us last month during our visit to The Golden State.  He has an enormous amount of personality and style.  We created the video below as a tribute to a day in the life of a SoCal pup -- complete with a trip to the dog beach and the very necessary post-beach-bath-time.  

Thanks for visiting, and enjoy!!!

Keep livin' large, Sampson!

Back-lit California

Backlighting in the last hour before sunset softens tones, makes edges glow, and enhances texture.  Some of my favorite images of plants and flowers were created with these unique lighting conditions.  Here are a few photographs I took on our recent trip to California featuring late-afternoon backlight.  Enjoy!

Another Glimpse of California

We've been amazingly busy with local shoots, project planning, studio renovations, and a trip to Iowa, but there are still many more photographs from our trip to California last month to share!  Here are a few more of our favorites -- all taken  during the same gorgeous sunset in the mountains east of San Diego.  Click any of the images to view it in our  archives!  

We've also uploaded our full collection of California images to the archive/online store.  Visit: http://archive.jordanawright.com and explore The West in our Fine Art Gallery!

Thanks for visiting!  Look for more posts soon featuring many more images from our recent journeys to California, Iowa, and the East Coast!

Oceanside, CA

As promised, here are a few more photographs from our SoCal trip!  While we were in San Diego we took a little detour up to Oceanside to visit one of our studio supply vendors, and happened upon the beautiful Oceanside Civic Center.  The architecture, style, and color made this location really fun to photograph.  We spent a long time exploring all the various angles of the center.  These are a few of our favorite photos from the afternoon!

 

Thanks for stopping by!  Check back soon for more photographs from our adventures in California -- including some portraits of a very special bulldog named Sampson.  

Photo Walk and Google Buzz Meetup

What a trip! Jordana Wright Photography just returned from a week-long trip to San Diego, California, where we had some great shoots with some new friends we acquired from our favorite social network, Google Buzz.  Google was even kind enough to come down with a few of their staff to hand out some cool swag, buy us some refreshments, and make the whole photowalk and subsequent meeting official. Thanks again to Robin and Brian, and all of the folks that came out and made the trip great!  Below are the first few shots from inside Balboa Park from literally dozens of amazing images we captured in sunny Southern California- enjoy!

Blogging San Diego

We're having an amazing time in San Diego.  We're still 2 days away from our Google Buzz Photo Walk, and we've already visited and photographed so many beautiful places.  Today we enjoyed the sunset views from Mt. Helix.  Here are a few of our favorites... Enjoy!
